Description by the author

This challenging route takes you through landscapes shaped by the rivers and the mining history of Finistère. During the first kilometers, you'll find yourself in the Bois de Botvarec, a dense and peaceful forest, perfect for immersing yourself in unspoiled nature.

Along the way, you can make a stop at the Locmaria-Berrien mine, a former silver mine that is part of the local industrial heritage. This historical site recalls the life of miners and the economic activity that occupied the region for centuries.

The green route Roscoff - Carhaix, which is gentler, offers a moment of respite before you begin the climb to the Bois de la Coudraie and reach Huelgoat via small valleys carved by rivers, particularly the mysterious Rivière d'Argent.

On the way back, enjoy the tranquility and silence of Lac d'Huelgoat, a true oasis of peace in the heart of this legendary landscape.
